Installing the
LecNet2 USB drivers

The LecNet2 USB drivers are installed
from the LecNet2 Installation Disk which comes with each device, by running
the LecNet2 Device Installer. Normally
this is done before connecting
an LecNet2 device to the PC for the first time, but it can be done afterwards
if necessary. The driver installation only needs to be done once.

If an LecNet2 device is connected
to a PC without prior installation of the drivers from the LecNet2 Installation
Disk, manual installation is possible in the case
of Windows XP and Vista operating systems, using the New
Hardware Found wizard. In the case of Windows 7, there is no New
Hardware Found wizard, so manual installation is a bit more involved.
In any of these cases it's not really necessary - just cancel the New
Hardware Found wizard (if open) and run the LecNet2 Device Installer from
the Installation Disk.

Installation
with LecNet2 Device Installer

Step 1

Place the LecNet2 Installation
Disk into the CD-ROM drive. If "AutoRun" is enabled on that
drive then the LecNet2 Installation Disk utility will open.

Note:
If AutoRun is not enabled then use Start->Run to run "autoRun.exe"
on the drive holding the LecNet2 Install Disk. For instance, if the CD-ROM
drive is drive E: then run "E:\autoRun.exe" to open the LecNet2
Software CD utility.

Two versions of the USB driver
installer are provided, for different types of Windows PC:

32-bit Windows, click
Install USB Drivers (32-bit)

64-bit Windows,
click Install USB Drivers
(64-bit)

Click the option that's right for your PC.

Step 2

The LecNet2 Device Installer opens.

Click Next
to proceed.

3

The EULA is presented.

Accept, then click Next

The drivers are installed from

Step 4

The Driver Name and Status are displayed.
Click Finish
to close the installer. You may now connect any LecNet2 device to
the PC and drivers will be loaded automatically.

Manual
Installation

If the USB drivers have not been pre-installed
on a PC prior connecting a LecNet2 device for the very first time, you may install
them manually if you wish.

On Windows XP and Vista operating systems, the Found New Hardware Wizard will open when the
device is detected. It will walk you through the process of installing the LecNet2 drivers.
To proceed, the LecNet2 Installation Disk will be needed. Follow these instructions:

On Windows 7 operating systems, the system attempts to
find a driver automatically when the device is detected. If it cannot find one, it notifies the user that
driver installation failed. In this case the Windows Device Manager is used to install the drivers.
To proceed, the LecNet2 Installation Disk will be needed. Follow these
